The first look at A24’s upcoming comedy hints at an awkward dinner party between friends, reminiscent of their previous film, The Drama. A24 is known for creating original and unpredictable movies – you never quite know what to expect, no matter the genre.
The studio’s new movie, The Drama, takes a bold approach by making its biggest surprise a key part of the advertising. The film features Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a couple facing a crisis just before their wedding when a shocking secret is revealed.
The trailer shows Zendaya and Pattinson with their friends, played by Alana Haim and Mamoudou Athie. They’re playing a game where everyone reveals their worst mistake, and when it’s Zendaya’s turn, her story is so surprising that it leaves the others speechless.
The trailer doesn’t include any of Zendaya’s dialogue, which has sparked a lot of curiosity about her role in the film. This strategy seems to have worked, as The Drama had a strong opening weekend at the box office. Now, A24 is trying the same thing with their new comedy, The Invite, which could also be a big success.
The Invite’s Trailer Teases A Major Reveal In A Similar Way As The Drama
Olivia Wilde directs and stars in “The Invite,” alongside Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton. The movie centers around Wilde and Rogen as a married couple hosting Cruz and Norton for dinner, but a tense conversation between the two couples throws the evening off course.
The initial trailer sparks curiosity about the movie’s story, much like the marketing campaign for The Drama did. In it, Seth Rogen mentions wanting to discuss something with Edward Norton and Ana de Armas, and Ana de Armas replies that she also has something to share with them. The specifics of their conversations remain a mystery, but it’s clear they’re central to the film’s storyline.
The movie The Invite focuses on a couple struggling in their relationship, which is a major theme in The Drama. The big reveal in this film could either bring Seth Rogen and Olivia Wilde’s characters closer together or drive them apart. While The Invite might not directly connect to The Drama, it shares some noticeable similarities.
The Drama’s Success Is A Promising Sign For The Invite
Early signs suggest the marketing for The Drama is paying off. The film earned $28 million globally during its opening weekend, which is a promising start considering its $28 million budget. It’s also been well-received by critics, with a 77% score on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating it could be a success for A24.
Critics are responding well to The Invite, which premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and currently has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Thanks to a compelling trailer and positive reviews, the film is expected to perform similarly to The Drama when it hits theaters on June 26, 2026.
